The American Diabetes Association tells diabetics
to eat 45-65% of their calories from carbohydrates.

Read that again.
Type 2 diabetes is a disease of
carbohydrate metabolism.

Your body cannot properly process blood sugar.

Your cells are resistant to insulin—
the hormone that moves glucose out of your blood.

This is the definition of the disease.
So what does the ADA tell you to eat?
Their official 2025 Standards of Care recommends:

"Whole grains"
"Fruits"
"Legumes"
"Starchy vegetables"
"Milk"

All carbohydrates.

Tens of thousands of unvetted Afghan aliens have hurt and terrorized Americans after the Biden administration flooded our communities with criminals, terrorists, and other threats.

These are just a few of the criminals who have rewarded American generosity with violence:
Jamal Wali, an Afghan national let into the country under the Biden administration through Operation Allies Welcome, shot and wounded two Fairfax, Virginia, police officers during a routine traffic stop. He was killed by return fire after declaring “I should have served with the f–king Taliban!”Image
Abdullah Haji Zada and Nasir Ahmed Tawhedi, both Afghan nationals given legal status by the Biden administration, were arrested and prosecuted for plotting a terrorist attack in Oklahoma City for Election Day 2024. They possessed hundreds of rounds of ammunition and had pledged their allegiance to ISIS.Image

🧵 THREAD: What happens to #Silver if physical delivery stops?

(Just brainstorming.)
1️⃣ The first thing that breaks is the illusion.

COMEX and London can halt, freeze, “adjust,” or call it technical…
but none of that delivers a single ounce.

Paper is not metal.
2️⃣ Then something bigger happens — the physical market starts writing its own price.

Whether spot is $56, $70, or $120, it doesn’t matter.

When delivery fails, spot becomes a number on a screen.

The real price emerges in the physical world.

Did then-President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry adopt a legal theory justifying President Trump taxing remittances? Yes! Look at the denial of the Keystone XL pipeline. Obama/Kerry argued that needing "leverage" in international negotiations justified executive action. Image
Image
What does that mean? That means that when President Trump wants "leverage" with our neighbors, he can take Presidential action to negotiate a better deal. The Art of the Deal but based on President Obama's and Secretary Kerry's denial of the Keystone XL project!
I'm not kidding. "Leverage" and "climate change [] leadership" were the two reasons Kerry and Obama put forward to deny Keystone XL. In short, important national security goals (like controlling our border) justify Presidential action. Taxing remittances follows that logic. Image

@ralakbar @michaeldweiss 1).
„Ukrainian President Volodymyr @ZelenskyyUa said on Sat. that a delegation headed by security council secretary Rustem Umerov was on its way to the U.S. to continue talks on an agreement to end Russiaʼs war in Ukraine.
@ralakbar @michaeldweiss @ZelenskyyUa 2).
Umerov has been put in charge of the Ukrainian delegation after the previous lead negotiator, Zelenskiy's powerful chief of staff Andriy Yermak, resigned on Friday, hours after anti-corruption detectives searched his apartment.”

Do you know the difference between a "special operation" a "sensitive operation" a "clandestine operation" and a "deniable operation"

Pinstripedline thread on 1970s SAS, MI6 and GCHQ operations and how the Govt tried to conceal their existence from official records... Image
In 1973 Cabinet Secretary Sir Burke Trend was alarmed to see reports of deniable operations involving the SAS in Oman in wider public documents. He sent a formal admonishment to the head of the FCO and to the MOD over concerns about poor information security. Image
Sir Dennis, the FCO PUS wrote back agreeing, noting that "deniable operations should never, as a matter of principle, be referred to in documents..."

He felt two rules applied to these operations - no formal records in the archives, and no automatic distribution across Depts. Image

Stop engaging @Meowllian. Thx.

Sincerely,

The Good Guys
For your reference. Somehow, she’s already blocked my latest alt account too. I wonder if it has something to do with this.👇
Thanks in advance.🫡 Image

This is good for Ukraine and moves us to Europe.

Yesterday, Yermak resigned. He and Zelenskyy were extremely close — they had lived and worked together from day one of the war inside the Kyiv compound.

"Talk about Zelenskyy, and you’re talking about Yermak" - Rybachuk for FT
1/ Image
FT used my yesterday's comment that “I strongly support it. It would be the right decision, exactly what you do to get out of a crisis.”

Analyst Fesenko says that this is a “mini revolution” in Kyiv’s power structure & breaks a system where Yermak acted like an unelected VP.

2/
Without Yermak, Zelenskyy’s influence may shrink at first. But former US ambassador William Taylor argues this move can strengthen Zelenskyy at home and abroad if he splits domestic and international roles. 3/

Witkoff, Kushner and Kremlin envoy Dmitriev didn’t plan peace, they planned business, writes WSJ.

In Miami they mapped a way to pull Russia’s $2T economy back into global markets, with U.S. companies beating Europe to the profits.

1/ Image
Dmitriev pushed access to Russia’s $300B frozen assets, Arctic gas fields, rare-earth mines and even a joint SpaceX mission.

He told them U.S. firms could grab LNG blocks, nickel deposits and Arctic transport routes if Trump cut a deal.

2/
The leaked 28-point plan read like Moscow’s wish list: territorial concessions in Donetsk, U.S.–Russia investment funds and profit-sharing from “reconstruction.”

Poland’s PM Donald Tusk: “This is not about peace. It’s about business.”
